I am running a Server 2008R2 environment with a single domain controller (Once this issue is figured out, I will be adding a second domain controller).
I have found that every hour I get 3 events in the AD DS event log:
- Error 1126 - Error Value 1355: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
- Warning 1655 - Error Value 5: Access is denied
- Information 1869
From what I have read with the events and related documents, is that this means my domain controller is having difficulties communicating with the global catalog. I have verified that this DC is set up to be a global catalog, so I can't figure out why it can't find a global catalog that it is itself hosting.
I'm not sure if it is related, but I am also seeing Group Policy Error 1055 in event viewer, saying that processing of group policy failed because Windows could not resolve the computer name, also giving error code 5: Access is Denied.
